Genes affected

VSX2 (HGNC:1975): (visual system homeobox 2) This gene encodes a homeobox protein originally described as a retina-specific transcription factor. Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia, cataracts and iris abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 4 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 14-74239626-C-CG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-74239626-C-CG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 221962.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 221962). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with VSX2-related conditions (PMID: 24033328). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala25Argfs*102) in the VSX2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VSX2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20414678). -
